The First Five Years of China’s Antimonopoly Law

Nathan Bush, O’Melveny & Myers

Date: 04/15/2013
Duration: 1:05
Description:
China’s first comprehensive competition statute, the Antimonopoly Law (AML), took effect on August 1, 2008. Since then, China has emerged as a significant antitrust jurisdiction as its competition authorities have blocked or imposed conditions on worldwide mergers, fined foreign cartels, and
even challenged the commercial practices of some state-owned enterprises. Mr. Bush, a partner in the Beijing and Singapore office of O’Melveny & Myers, will assess the first five years of Chinese antitrust enforcement under the AML and future directions of Chinese competition policy under the new Xi Jinping government.
